And also dont "flush" anything... and research before you buy.

 

DT's phyto is best, IME.

And it depends on what type of coral you have. DT's is good stuff for most. Some LPS will be happiest if you give them something w/ more "meat"...like cyclo-peeze. Liquid version or powder are both cool.

 

Be careful w/ DT's tho....it's basically concentrated algae and if you over-use, you will get algae blooms. And be sure to smell the DT's...if it smells like bad flatulence, then it's likely dead (or you had too many beans) and toss it out. if it smells "sweet" it's good to go. =)
